K9s Lamentv2

Verse 1:

I knew a man that I will never forget

But nobody ever remembers the pet

He took me from the year 5000 on a lonely asteroid

He said he was looking for a droid

He was my master, his attention I did crave

To him, I was nothing more than a slave

We saved creatures all across the galaxy

But nobody ever thought to save me

Pre-chorus:

And I wonder what life would be like if

I could choose not to say affirmitive

People tell me what to do and I just roll along

But inside my metal head I?m singing my song

Chorus:

Treacherous compliance, what have you done to me?

I?m a fraction of the shadow of the canine I could be

I see other dogs in the park fetching sticks and digging bones

Never has a tin dog ever felt so alone

Oh no

Verse 2:

He gave me to Sarah Jane as a gift

but I wasn?t consulted, I was a little miffed

Is this what I?m reduced to, a casual memento?

I?ve seen all of creation, but to it I?m incidental

But there?s more to this automaton than they will ever know

I?m more than just alloys and circuits, I have soul

And I?ve got dreams just like everybody else

I could conquer the world if I could conquer myself

Pre-chorus:

And I wonder what life would be like if

I could choose not to say affirmitive

People tell me what to do and I just roll along

But inside my metal head I?m singing my song

Chorus:

Treacherous compliance, what have you done to me?

I?m a fraction of the shadow of the canine I could be

I see other dogs in the park, They're fetching sticks and digging bones

Never has a tin dog ever felt so alone

Oh no
